Bang & Olufsen Beolab 8

Bang & Olufsen are faithful to their own recipe. Which should be seen as a good thing. Models don’t change with random fashion fads, but are continuously updated for years – or even decades. Beolab 8, however, is brand new. So new that we are one of the first media outlets globally to have had …

Beosound 2 3rd. generation

Bang & Olufsen doesn’t change models over and over again. In some cases, products from as far back as the 1970s can find their way back onto store shelves. But even the “new” models can be sold for years. Beosound 2 was originally introduced in 2016 and a second-generation version was released in 2019, featuring …

Sonos Era 300

Sonos is not a manufacturer that releases dozens of new products every year, but when something new does come out, it’s usually quite well thought-out and well executed. They’re rarely first with the latest, but some of their products end up setting the standard in their class. In that sense, Sonos is perhaps a bit …

Audio Pro A15

We’ve already tested the A38 floorstanding and A28 bookshelf speakers from Audio Pro. Both are true stereo speakers with in-built amplifier and extensive multi-room capabilities. Audio Pro A15 is in a different and lighter weight class, namely a table speaker that can be used in places where you just need a little background music for …

Audio Pro A38

Floorstanding speakers have an undeserved reputation for being large, impractical – and associated with permanent bachelor status. Which is a shame, as floorstanding speakers often actually take up less space than compact speakers on stands. The Audio Pro A38 is a floorstander so humble in scale and design that it should be able to fit …

Audio Pro A28

Swedish Audio Pro has more than 40 years of experience in building active speakers for home use. We have tested many, and very often with good results. The Audio Pro A28 is an ultra-compact two-way speaker with built-in streaming and multi-room functionality. In fact, they’re even smaller than the legendary compact Rogers LS3/5A. The speakers …

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin 4. gen.

“Iconic” is a misused term. But when it comes to Bowers & Wilkins’ Zeppelin desktop speaker, it’s entirely justified. Very few speakers are as recognisable as it. Or as long-lived. The airship-shaped speaker made its debut in 2007 as a dock for the Apple iPod Touch (which has just recently been retired after 21 years …

IKEA Symfonisk

What offspring do you get if you cross a furniture giant with a manufacturer of wireless speakers? Of course, you get a speaker that blends into the furniture. IKEA Symfonisk is a multi-room wall speaker designed to pass even the most stringent access control. In fact, it is virtually invisible in a “modern home”. Sonos …

Devialet Phantom I 103 dB

I almost fell off the chair when I first heard the Devialet Silver Phantom back in 2015. A speaker for style-conscious people who want comfort but also hefty sound. Incredibly loud sound. How was it possible that a speaker with a cabinet of only 6 liters could move such large amounts of air? The bass …

We have recently tested Beosound Level, but now a little brother has appeared, in the form of Beosound Emerge. Beosound Emerge is a wireless network speaker in a design that even …

Sonos Roam

It was no big surprise when Sonos unveiled its first pocket-sized speaker, the Sonos Roam, in early March. Prior to the official launch, most of the details had been leaked. Which probably gave it more attention than if it had not been leaked. There are many small portable speakers – but secrets are always interesting. …

Beosound Level

Bang & Olufsen’s products enjoy a status like few others. Whether it’s a pocket speaker or a giant TV, you can count on design and build quality in a class of their own. And usually at a matching price level! Thus also the Beosound Level, which is a portable, battery-powered speaker slightly larger than an …

Q Acoustics Q Active 200

English Q Acoustics is known for their passive speakers with a nice price-quality ratio. We were particularly impressed by the top model, Concept 500, which won our title as the best of the year in its category. Now, however, the people of Woking have directed their attention to active wireless speakers. The first result is …

Belkin Soundform Elite

The market for intelligent wireless speakers is exploding to a degree that can almost begin to compare with the headphone market. A driving factor is the availablity of voice control. Equipping a speaker with Google Assistant is technologically relatively simple, and then you suddenly have a smart speaker that can be used in multi-room systems …
